The 2022 Wimbledon Championships began on Monday, kickstarting my favourite two weeks of the year. It was a bit of a subdued start to the tournament with rain halting play after just half an hour and then again early in the afternoon. It was an odd concept at lunchtime to have no play going on…

The number one seed, Iga Swiatek will take on the number 18 seed, Coco Gauff in Saturday’s final. Random segway – I need some pictures of both players!!! Hopefully a…
